Workshop 2: "Blog it"
Those that attending our Blogging workshop were asked to provide a minimum of three words (adjectives) that described their experience and reflections on the session. These words were placed into Wordle.

Workshop 3: "Click it!"
Teachers 'posted' their personal reflections - they were asked to state which Web 2.0 they preferred and how they would use it in their classroom.I used the Comic Life Software programme to record them (Comic Life exports as a jpeg and can then be posted anywhere on the internet).

Workshop 4: Thinkers ToolboxTip: Just click on the "Thinkers Toolbox" sign on the right handside.......choose your post it colour (or the photo option or the video option - whatever you would like to add) and then leave your reflection.
















Unfortunately we had no internet coverage at the venue this week, teachers were asked to complete their reflections in their own time and post here. 25 teachers attended this workshop.





(These reflections will be used to inform our future practice and to use as part of our reporting process)
